“Tony was an integral part of our team’s improvement last season and we’re excited to re-sign him,” said General Manager Jon Horst. “He is a tireless worker, a terrific teammate and a man of great character. We look forward to having him back with the Bucks as we continue to build toward a championship.”

Snell had the best season of his four-year NBA career in 2016-17, his first with the Bucks. He set new career highs in points (8.5), rebounds (3.1), assists (1.2) and minutes (29.2) per game while playing and starting a career high 80 games. Snell also set new personal bests in 3-point percentage (.406) and field goal percentage (.455) during the 2016-17 season after he was acquired by the Bucks in October.

The 6’7 guard has career averages of 6.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.4 minutes per game. He was originally drafted with the 20th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls out of New Mexico.

The Milwaukee Bucks closed out the home portion of their regular season schedule by knocking off the Charlotte Hornets 89-79 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Monday night.

With the win, the Bucks (42-39) clinched a winning record and locked up at least a sixth-place finish in the Eastern Conference. It means the Bucks will likely see a first-round playoff matchup against third-seeded Toronto.

Although chances are slim, the Bucks could still climb into the 5th spot in the East by winning the regular season finale at Boston and getting Atlanta to lose both of its remaining games.

Giannis Antetokounmpo collected his third triple-double and 8th of his career with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Greg Monroe added 16 points.

The Bucks hit 16 of 28 three-pointers, led by Jason Terry, who hit five of seven. Khris Middleton and Tony Snell both hit four of five from distance.

Rookie Malcolm Brogdon also returned to the starting lineup after missing five games with a back injury. He finished with five points, four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes.

Tony Snell scored a season high 21 points, including 5 of 7 from three-point range to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 112-98 road win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points and added eight rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots as the Bucks (29-33) stayed 1 1/2 games out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference playoff chase.

The Bucks hit 14 of 33 three pointers as a team.

The 76ers got a career high from Justin Anderson who scored 19 points, but fell for the 5th time in the last six games.

The Bucks led 60-43 at halftime, and 91-68 entering the fourth quarter.

Milwaukee returns home to play the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. They’ll host Indiana and Minnesota on Friday and Saturday. Then they hit the road for the start of a six-game trip, starting in Memphis on Monday before heading west.

A Russell Westbrook turnover followed by a pair of Malcolm Brogdon turnovers gave the Milwaukee Bucks a 98-94 win over the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Tony Snell, who went scoreless for the Bucks, slapped the ball away from Westbrook but it hit the Thunder guard’s knee on the way out of bounds to give the ball back to the Bucks.

Westbrook, who came into the game averaging a triple-double, had 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists. But Westbrook made just 9 of 28 from the field, including 3 of 17 in the second half.

The Bucks got the go-ahead basket from John Henson on an inside feed from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis had 26 points, 10 rebounds and five assists to lead the Bucks (17-16). Jabari Parker added 19 points and six rebounds and Greg Monroe had 15 points and seven rebounds.

Thunder big man Steven Adams added 20 points, but only four of those points came in the second half.

The Milwaukee Bucks finalized their deal with Chicago, sending point-guard Michael Carter-Williams to the Bulls in exchange for backup shooting guard Tony Snell.

Snell averaged 5.3 points and 3.1 rebounds a game in 64 games (33 starts) for the Bulls last season. In the last two seasons with the Bulls, Snell has shot 37.1 percent (2014-15) and 36.1 percent (2015-16) from the three-point arc.

Carter-Williams appeared in 54 games (37 starts) for the Bucks last season and averaged 11.5 points, 5.2 assists and 5.1 rebounds in 30.5 minutes a game. He was originally the 11th overall pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2013 NBA Draft out of Syracuse.

The Bucks acquired Carter-Williams in a Feb. 19, 2015 trade with Philadelphia.
